The RF parameters are typed on the
alignment software to facilitate the
alignment within all repeater band
avoiding special programming of
the repeater before start alignment
procedure.
All parameters can be aligned
without relationship to any other,
so there is no an order to align. On
this way, you can adjust only the
desired parameter, avoiding to
waste
time realigning other
parameters than required.
Before proceed to align any
parameter, a desired frequency
must be loaded into both TX and
RX. Evenly when the repeater has
stable
characteristics for all
bandwidth, it is recommendable to
align on middle of the repeater-
working band.
5.6.1. TX CLOCK ALIGNMENT:
To align the main clock for Repeater
Tx and RX, please select:
Adjust Clock TX
option Alignment screen.

reach the desired value at the time
you checks the Frequency Counter
to reach the desired frequency as
shown on Frequency field of the

reached, press [Finish] to store the
value on repeater memory.
Typical
default alignment
correspond to a max error of 60Hz
on the alignment clock in factory
when the repeater was calibrated.
If you want to retrieve factory
default, press [Factory] instead of
[Start]. You will be asked to confirm
the factory default alignment, and
then, if you confirm it, original
values from factory will be loaded
into current alignment settings.
